Space X Falcon 9 launch from Cape Canaveral, as seen from Lincolnville
LINCOLNVILLE – Isabelle Powers, of Lincolnville, captured with her camera the launch of a Space X falcon 9 rocket as it put on a stunning night sky performance Saturday night, Sept. 24.
SpaceX's Starlink is the constellation of networked satellites aimed to provide internet services to those who are not yet connected, and to provide reliable and affordable internet across the globe, according to the Kennedy Space Center.
According to SpaceX, the “Falcon 9 is a reusable, two-stage rocket designed and manufactured by SpaceX for the reliable and safe transport of people and payloads into Earth orbit and beyond. Falcon 9 is the world’s first orbital class reusable rocket. Reusability allows SpaceX to refly the most expensive parts of the rocket, which in turn drives down the cost of space access.”
The launch took place at 7:27 p.m., from Cape Canaveral, Florida, Space Force Station.
